Land Use Board of Appeals issues another setback for Jordan Cove LNG<\/h2>\n

LUBA issues overturns fourth permit for Jordan Cove LNG in 6 months<\/span><\/h3>\n

[NORTH BEND, OREGON]<\/span> \u2014 <\/span><\/span>On Tuesday, the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) overturned yet another local land use permit for the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and Pacific Connector pipeline. This is the fourth Jordan Cove LNG permit overturned by LUBA in the last six months while the company has also continued to fail to qualify for State and Federal permits.<\/span> LUBA’s decision can be read here.<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

This City of North Bend permit was for the proposed pipeline construction under the Coos Bay estuary.\u00a0 LUBA ruled that the City erred in its classification of the proposed Horizontal Directional Drill, which would include both drilling and dredging under the Coos Bay estuary.\u00a0<\/span>The permit was challenged by the Coos County community organization, Citizens for Renewables, on the grounds of protecting the estuary from the fracked gas pipeline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision will require the City of North Bend to consider the damage this pipeline will do to our resource-rich estuary instead of ignoring the impacts as Jordan Cove LNG\u2019s attorneys have argued,\u201d said <\/span>Katy Eymann, a Coos County resident and President of Citizens for Renewables<\/b>. \u201cLUBA is part of the long line of agency decisions rejecting this project demonstrating that this project is not good for Oregon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cI am so glad that the hard work of local community member, like Jody McCaffree, who have studied and argued highly technical issues regarding the complex Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan has won the day,\u201d said<\/span> Tonia Moro, the attorney who represented both\u00a0 Citizens for Renewables and Mrs. McCaffree on this appeal. <\/b>\u201cFor years, community members in Coos County have been advocates to protect estuary resources by submitting comments to showcase that this project is not a good fit for the coastal community. This LUBA decision is another significant blow to this project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
